Overview

🔗 Documentation | Discord | Unity Forums | Support

Hats enables the concept of workspaces in Unity.

⛑️ Workspaces

Workspaces are a bit similar to layouts – but way more powerful!

By switching workspaces, the Editor can be made to load a specialised layout, open one or more scenes, lock objects or folders, switch build target, change the Game View aspect, set filters in the Hierarchy and Project view, and more. Third-party tools can be made to work differently. And you can create custom behaviour as a result of a workspace switch.

You can switch to a workspace at any moment to customise the appearance or the behaviour of the Editor according to the task you are performing.

👉🏻 For instance:

One could have workspaces for Level Design, Cinematics, Testing...

• When the Level Design workspace becomes active, it loads the main game scene and locks the GameObjects that shouldn't be edited.
• When the Testing workspace is activated, it loads the Initialisation scene, so the developer can immediately enter Play Mode and test the game from the main menu.
• When Cinematics loads, it opens the cutscenes scene, switches the Game View to a cinematic aspect ratio, and loads the Timeline editing layout.

Hats can make the Unity Editor more streamlined, so you get focus – whichever hat you're wearing at the moment 🎩

But that's not all...

🧰 What a Workspace can do

Hats ships with a set of built-in rules that can be combined freely:

• Load an Editor layout or a Scene Overlays layout
• Open one or more scenes, or a Prefab
• Hide or lock GameObjects (by tag, component, or name) and layers
• Lock folders in the Project view, or select/focus a folder
• Switch build target
• Toggle 2D/3D mode
• Set the Game View size or aspect
• Apply filters to the Hierarchy or Project search
• Move the Scene Camera to a saved position
• Highlight specific gizmos
• Disable menu items, or execute a menu item on activation

👫 Teams (optional)

Teams can be used to group Editor users by their Unity ID (i.e. their email). If a user is signed in and their email is listed as a user of a Hats Team, they are part of that Team, and that Team's workspace becomes enabled for them as soon as the Editor is launched.

This allows to auto-enable a workspace for users of a certain team – useful, for example, to give designers, artists, or QA a tailored Editor right from the launch. The Teams functionality is optional; and can be turned on and off.

👷🏼‍♂️ Build your own Hats-powered tools

In addition to the built-in functionalities, Hats provides a public API to query the current state of Workspaces and Teams, and to register custom rules. This allows you to create smart tools that provide a tailored experience to their users.

Two samples are included to demonstrate this: a custom Workspace rule, and an Inspector that changes its appearance based on the active Team.

🈶️ CJK languages support

Team and workspace names support CJK languages (中文 / 日本語 / 한국어).
